After a sub-par seasonal debut in the Saval Beg Stakes, Venus De Milo is back in the winners circle on her 2nd start in 2014, winning the G3 Munster Oaks Stakes(formerly the Noblesse Stakes) at Cork Racecourse in Ireland.

Last seasons 2nd in both the G1 Irish Oaks & G1 Yorkshire Oaks, Venus De Milo, made her seasonal debut at Leopardstown on Friday in the listed Saval Beg Stakes but ran a very disappointing 8th of 11. But in fairness to Venus De Milo, she was coming into the race off a nearly 9 month layoff and she was stepping up in trip beyond 12f for the first time to Saval Beg Stakes distance of 14f.

ILuvTurfRacing · The other Coolmore runner in the race was Eye of the Storm who last season won the listed Listowel & Loughbrown Stakes and was 3rd at Ascot in the G3 BC Long Distance Cup finished 4th of 11 in the Saval Beg and should come on for the run in his next start, IMO. · 269 days ago

Venus De Milo follows up her very game 2nd in the G1 Irish Oaks with a win in the G3 Give Thanks Stakes at Cork racetrack in Ireland. Among his 3yo fillies, Aidan O'Brien has sent out Just Pretending, Moth, Say, and Magical Dream all several times this season at group level, but I think Venus De Milo has very quickly begun to establish herself as possibly being the best of Coolmore's 3yo fillies this season. She beat stablemate Moth handily to win the Naas Oaks Trial back in June and she finished the best among all of the Coolmore fillies in the Irish Oaks. My guess is we'll see Venus De Milo next later in the month at York for the G1 Yorkshire Oaks.

ILuvTurfRacing · I've liked this filly from the first time I saw her when she broke her maiden at Fairyhouse. She's all business, and she's a really good looking filly, too. She's got ample size & scope about her, IMO. · 574 days ago
